GOING: S(5)

Picklebet's Pickle Perks BM58 Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.60)  

Understated to take charge. SAINT LAZARE (1) has been racing in stronger company and the two-back was only beaten 2.5L at Caulfield Heath in a 70. He's been briefly freshened and maps for a soft run. The 3kg claim is handy and he's the one to beat. WILLINGLY (3) resumed over 1500m and needed it. Delivered a decent figure at Caulfield prior and Egan replaces the 4kg apprentice. Has been briefly freshened and can fight out the finish. TOWER OF TUSCANY (2) was okay here following the big Maiden win and will be in the money with average luck in the run. CABLE DE VEGA (5) comes back to the mile and is an honest galloper who can fill a slot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Saint Lazare.
